Here's a problem that I can't figure out, so I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me out.

When I select my GC_FW200C4 in CFS2 it now gives the warning: "Unable to Find the Model CondorC4 in the Library". This happens in any mode, Free Flight, Single Missions or anything else. No matter how many times I re-download and install I get the same msg. Plus now, none of the weapons will show, nor the aircraft information in the little window off to the side of the player aircraft window. Although, clearly, this aircraft is there and model and CFG names do state "CondorC4". I have checked and all the German weapons are there as they have allways been. So I'm just stumped and hope someone has had this problem too and can offer a solution. Thanks! ???

Mathias might be the one to answer this if he spots it.

Steven. When you say "it now gives the warning" has it worked OK previously? The GC aircraft are designed specifically for CFS2 (or CFS3) & should not cause problems or conflicts. I'll check out the Fw 200 myself. Where did you download it from?

Hagar, This last download was from NETWINGS, but had the same results from the GC_Download site too. At first it loaded fine, weapons and all, so I could fly the missions, then later this happened. Seemingly without just cause and I can't fix it.

I guess it's not really a "warning". Just the little green pop up window that I have come to dread. Seems funny as the visual model is obviously there to see and it is listed in the aircraft list as the "CondorC4", but the pop-up window says the model can't be found in the library.
If I hit the fly button it loads and you can fly it as usual. You just can't have any weapons on board. Quite aggrivating, especialy when flying the missions.

My guess is I've done something wrong, but I'm no rookie and I still can't figure it out. I really like the plane but it is the beta version.

Aha, in that case I suspect installing that Kondor took you over the CFS2 "100 Plane" limit. The number of aircraft varies & 100 is only a round figure. Try removing a few addon aircraft from your CFS2\Aircraft folder. I've covered this problem on my CFS2 FAQ page. http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2faq.htm

You are probably right about the 100 plane limit. I don't know how many I have installed, but I do know it's way over 100...way over. I've got a second install for my Fox Four Korea Campaigns, I'll try it out over there and see. Tanks loads.

Yes, the plane limit was the culprit alright. Plane loaded as advertised and worked well in my second and sparse install of CFS2. Thanks for the advise. Now where can one find the VB_Panes German Weapons?

Thanks again for your help! Cheesy

Glad you fixed it. The weapons could be a problem. I can't find the VB Planes site. It used to be hosted at Sim-Outhouse but seems to have disappeared. ???

PS. Try the Me 262 here. http://members.ams.chello.nl/s.decocq/Circus/gc_me262.htm
According to the description it includes the weapons.

One Question Hagar, Is the George An ai model?
if so why isn't in the Ai flyable planes pack?

Scott. Thanks for the link. The George is already a fully flyable aircraft. It should be listed on the menu as N1K2-J George.

Thanks Scott, that did it. Wonder why I didn't see it there when I looked?

Any one heard any late news on the second campaign in the Fox Four series? I've got a second install just for it and the others too, when they come out.

I've also got a third install just for my WWI stuff.

Nice to see new works being done for CFS2, 'cause CFS3 didn't like my computer.

Sorry Steven. I just spotted this. The new campaign is being beta tested right now. We still have a few minor bugs to fix. These things sometimes take a while to figure out.
